Although I am not a hard core Audi Fan, this RS surely looks menacing enough. Havent ever followed Audi Cars closely, but just for the information- How is this car priced/performs/handles?
Is it worth the amount:

Priced over the 1 crore mark (or maybe even well above that) but should be priced lower than the competition from Mercedes and BMW. Performs beautifully and handles pretty well. It isnt a M5 but still a great car. Very popular in the country as well. Probably a tad bit friendlier for Indian conditions compared to the M5 and the E63 AMG. Havent owned one but have met a couple owners.

A new RS5 is now 1.4crs and that is before you throw some options on it.

I was recently at Audi Gurgaon and a used, 4000kms run 2014 RS5 (new shape, decently loaded) was standing there for sale, asking 1.4. One has to be out of their mind to buy one IMO. It's quite essentially a sheep in wolf's clothing.

I'd rather have an E92 M3 which you can get now for less than 50lacs, any day!

No offense intended to any existing RS5 owners.

I fail to understand why're you pitting it against the M5 and E63, that's the job for the RS6. The RS5 is an M3/C63 rival.

Agreed on both aspects mate! I ve never liked Audis. A E92 M3 is an easy choice over this. And if it HAS to be an Audi, its a RS7. Nothing else.
And yeah, the RS5 stands off against the M3, the M4 now rather, and not a M5/E63.

Yes, this is purchased from another friend for slight less than 60 Lakhs, gives a mileage of 3kmpl, but amazing acceleration, interiors superb, road handling everything is just brilliant. This one is a 2012 model. 2014 model comes for Rs 1.4 C on road in Delhi.

Haha, he infact changes cars faster than clothes. Got some great taste. We'll see a GT3 in his garage soon.

Does that mean the Turbo S is bidding farewell as well? Unbelievable!

But, are you sure on the GT3 part? From what I've heard the GT3 exports are halted. There is already a pending booking from Kerala for like the past 6-7 months and when a friend of mine wanted to order one, he was told to wait until they know for sure what's the status on the first one and he settled for a Carrera S instead.
